IRS and Georgia Tax Debt Settlement | Tax Litigation

• Audit Defense:  We are frequently able to eliminate an assessment of tax at the audit stage, minimizing cost and stress for the client. 
• Administrative Appeals:  If you are wrongly assessed tax, denied relief or subjected to collection activity, an attorney at our firm is often able to resolve it favorably in the IRS administrative appeals process, without the need for the case proceeding to court.
• Tax Litigation:  Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the tax litigation process with confidence.
• Offer in Compromise:  We offer a complete analysis of whether you qualify for this program, in which you offer the IRS an amount that is less than what you owe.  In some cases, this can save a client hundreds of thousands of dollars.  In other cases, it will not be the correct approach to resolve the liability.
